Easy Seafood Stew Recipe - So Hearty and Healthy

Seafood Stew Made Easy

I've been trying to incorporate more and more seafood into our diet. It's healthy, and we really like seafood. Unfortunately it's not always easy to get good, fresh seafood where we live. However, I found that when you are making soups and casseroles, you can get away with frozen items, that taste just as good. Case in point is this easy seafood stew, which I made with frozen cod, shrimp and canned clams.

The shrimp was also frozen and pre-cooked. These are items that you should be able to buy at any supermarket.

Of course you can change it up and use different types of fish. I like cod because it's readily available, a little on the meatier side, and has a very light taste. Onions, carrots and celery typical to many soups and stews make up the base.

I also used fingerling potatoes in this stew. Mainly because they are so cute, but also because they are easily rinsed off and sliced up skin and all. You could use any thinned skin potato, such as white or red new potatoes. Just make sure that you chop them into bite sized pieces. If you use russet potatoes, I'd suggest peeling the skins first.

If you'd like, you can make this more of a bisque or chowder, by adding 1/2 cup of heavy cream at the end, but it really doesn't need it.

Serve with lemon wedges, a nice side salad, or a crusty baguette and you have a great healthy and delicious meal.
